Stdsuspension approached me to sponsor my car with a set but I turned it down at the time... Wondering how the ride quality is and how well I preforms on the track.

its not the slowest car I've owned but its definetely not a factory freak like my Echo was. My Echo with the same mods this thing has so far, would have obliterated my Yaris, oh well - if I want a bit more thrust I have other cars and motorcycles that can fill the bill.

As for the coilovers, pretty decent build quality - very adjustable - ride is on the stiff side (not at all what they claimed or what that other guy with the black 4dr that has the same coilovers claimed they would be) (I'm not surprised that he was so flattering, because afterall he is a shop owner who might have been trying to sell some kits as a result of posting his car on YarisWorld)

If the shocks could keep up with track days I'd say the spring rate / shock setup combination would work well.

They would easily live up to a season of autocrossing, but I'm not sure about a season of trackdays

Regular street driving with zero winters (like my car) and the coilovers would probably outlast the car
